4John, to the seven churches in Asia, 'Grace to you and peace from God who is, was and is to come and from the seven spirits that are in the presence of His throne 5and from Jesus Christ the true Witness, the primogenitor from the dead and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. 3Beatified is he who reads and understands the words of this prophecy and who keeps those things that are written, for the time is at hand. 1 The revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave to Him to show to His servants the things that must imminently come to pass: and He sent and symbolized it by His angel to His servant John 2 Who gave witness to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, even all those things that he saw.
